The Khaki Campbell is one of the more famous and popular duck breeds due to its egg production. It was introduced in 1901 by Mrs. Adele Campbell of Gloucestershire, England. She experimented with Runners crossed with Rouen and Mallards but never revealed the exact genetic make up of her Campbells. The advantage over the pure Runner was a more useful carcass for meat and improved egg production Though they have been turned into an exhibition type breed, she was adamant that her birds were designed for production, not the exhibition hall.

Once the "Khaki" was attached to the "Campbell", the breed gained even more popularity. The Khaki Campbell gained even more renown due to the egg laying contests where it averaged up to 39 more eggs in 365 days while another laid one egg a day for 225 straight days.
